    A diploma is granted by a higher education institution for coursework mastery in a specific field of study. Diploma programs typically last from one to two years and can increase job market potential.

    What is a diploma in international cuisines? Coursework typically focuses on international cuisine starting with basic recipes and starters and moving to complex meat, vegetable, fish and seafood dishes. Desserts are also included to round out a full menu. Advanced courses can include information on buffets and catering menus, different cooking methods and dietary restrictions and replacements. Some courses also offer work placements after completion.

    Creativity, patience and teamwork skills help keep a kitchen running smooth with interesting dishes to appease the palates of a variety of individuals. Outside the kitchen, these skills may help graduates with their career goals, interpersonal relationships and business relationships.

    Whether an individual chooses to study abroad or domestically will greatly impact overall cost.

Diploma programs offer consecutive mastery in six months to a year, though some allow for course modules to be split.
